Summary

Addresses 7 confirmed bugs across providers, dashboard, CLI, and i18n:

Test plan

  • node test-all.mjs passes (3797 tests, 0 failures)
  • node --test tests/providers/themuse.test.mjs — 4 new tests: first-page re-throw, later-page truncation, retry recovery, non-Error rejection
  • node --test tests/merge-tracker.test.mjs — 4 new tests: N/A/—/- sentinel preservation, real-score downgrade still writes through
  • node --test tests/scan-flag-forms.test.mjs — 5 new tests: --help exits 0, -h exits 0, --dryrun rejected, --dry_run rejected, multiple unknown flags listed
  • node scan.mjs --help prints usage without running a scan
  • Dashboard sentinel row renders dimmed /N/A instead of 0.0; unscored rows sort above scored ones
  • go test ./dashboard/... covers TestHasScoreDistinguishesSentinelFromNumeric (requires Go runtime)
  • All 18 localized _shared.md files contain both guardrail markers (asserted by test-all.mjs)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Unevaluated applications now appear before scored applications, retain their original score labels, and no longer affect score comparisons as zero.
    • Re-evaluations preserve existing scores when incoming values are unavailable or invalid.
    • Job listing retrieval now retries temporary failures and preserves results already collected.
    • Update screens display a clear fallback when changelog information is unavailable.
  • New Features

    • Scan commands now provide help and reject unknown options with actionable guidance.
    • Added safeguards against unsupported authorship claims and fabricated resume details across languages.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change distinguishes numeric and unavailable scores across parsing, display, and merge updates. It adds The Muse retries, scan option validation, localized authorship guardrails, changelog fallback handling, and .gitignore update synchronization.

Changes

Score handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Career score parsing and display
dashboard/internal/model/career.go, dashboard/internal/data/career.go, dashboard/internal/data/career_test.go, dashboard/internal/ui/screens/pipeline.go
CareerApplication.HasScore identifies numeric scores. Pipeline sorting and rendering preserve separate behavior for scored and unevaluated applications.
Merge score preservation
merge-tracker.mjs, tests/merge-tracker.test.mjs
Unavailable re-evaluation scores preserve existing scores. Downgrade detection applies only to numeric scores. Regression tests cover sentinel and numeric values.

The Muse pagination retries

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-page retry and pagination behavior
providers/themuse.mjs, tests/providers/themuse.test.mjs
Page requests use retries. Initial-page failures are rethrown. Later-page failures retain earlier results and stop pagination. Tests cover recovery and rejection cases.

Scan CLI validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Scan help and flag validation
scan.mjs, tests/scan-flag-forms.test.mjs
The CLI documents supported options, handles --help and -h, and rejects unknown long options before scanning.

Localized authorship guardrails

Layer / File(s) Summary
Localized guardrails and coverage
modes/*/_shared.md, test-all.mjs
Localized mode files add source-backed authorship and anti-fabrication rules. The test suite checks required guardrail markers across languages.

Update and changelog maintenance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update manifest and changelog fallback
modes/update.md, update-system.mjs
The update mode displays a fallback when changelog data is unavailable. The system update manifest now includes .gitignore.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to bca9d

The PR can incorrectly suppress permitted content in Russian and Ukrainian modes, and malformed boolean scan options may be accepted while silently disabling the requested behavior. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In `@dashboard/internal/model/career.go`:
- Line 11: Update the scored CareerApplication test fixtures in pipeline_test.go

a numeric value, preserving false only for sentinel or unevaluated scores.

In `@modes/ru/_shared.md`:

Update the English guardrail at modes/ru/_shared.md lines 37-37 and

SCAN_KNOWN_FLAGS so boolean flags reject equals-form arguments such as

In `@test-all.mjs`:

Set HasScore: true on scored test fixtures. Direct CareerApplication literals in pipeline_test.go and pipeline_pdf_test.go set Score but not HasScore, so they render as unevaluated and sort before scored rows. The production parser sets the field correctly.

**RULE: NEVER claim the user authored a project, repo, library, tool, framework, or open-source artefact unless explicitly attributed to them in cv.md or article-digest.md.** Tool-of-trade conflation (user uses X → user built X) is the most common fabrication pattern and is forbidden.

Scope the no-fabrication guardrail consistently in both locale files.

Both files already limit ask-or-omit behavior to claims about the candidate. The added generic English sentence removes that limit and can suppress permitted job-description quotations and WebSearch/WebFetch research.

  • modes/ru/_shared.md#L37-L37: change the no-fabrication sentence so it applies to candidate claims only.
  • modes/ua/_shared.md#L37-L37: apply the same scope correction to the English guardrail.

Based on learnings, the Russian mode explicitly permits JD quotations and WebSearch/WebFetch research outside candidate-source validation.

Use the presentation boundary for the fallback message.

Line 45 instructs the mode to emit an English sentence directly. For a non-English language.output, this bypasses localization. Wrap the text in [Render in {language.output}: ...] and keep the diagnostic text inside the directive in fixed English.

Based on learnings, mode Markdown files must keep diagnostics in fixed English and render user-facing messages only at the presentation boundary.

Reject unsupported equals forms for boolean flags.

The validation checks only the text before =. Therefore, --verify=true and --dry-run=typo pass validation, but the later args.includes(...) checks ignore them. The scan can then run with the requested option silently disabled. Accept = only for operand flags and --throttle, or parse boolean values explicitly.

Proposed validation fix
-  const unknownFlags = args.filter(
-    (a) => a.startsWith('--') && !SCAN_KNOWN_FLAGS.has(a.split('=')[0]),
-  );
+  const unknownFlags = args.filter((a) => {
+    if (!a.startsWith('--')) return false;
+    const [name, value] = a.split('=', 2);
+    if (!SCAN_KNOWN_FLAGS.has(name)) return true;
+    return value !== undefined
+      && !SCAN_FLAGS_WITH_VALUE.has(name)
+      && name !== '--throttle';

Assert the complete supported locale set.

If a locale directory or _shared.md file is deleted, the current discovery excludes it before missingAuthorship and missingNoFab are calculated. Both checks can then pass. Compare the discovered paths with the repository's expected locale set before checking the markers.

Based on the PR objective, this test must cover all 18 localized _shared.md files, not only files that remain on disk.

Assert that unknown options stop scan execution.

These tests verify the error and nonzero status, but they do not verify early exit. Because runScan uses a missing portals path, a regression that continues into scanning could still pass. Add the same no-scan assertion used by the help tests to all three unknown-option cases.

Proposed test strengthening
   assert.match(r.stderr, /--help/, 'error must hint at --help');
+  assert.doesNotMatch(r.all, /portals\.yml not found|Scanning/i);

Apply the assertion to the underscore and multiple-flag tests as well.
